Check the dosage strength. This is usually printed clearly, indicating the amount of active ingredient (sildenafil) in milligrams (mg). Common strengths include 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg. Verify this matches your doctor’s instructions.
Confirm the medication name. Your prescription should explicitly state “sildenafil” or the brand name of your medication. Double-check for any discrepancies.
Pill Identification
Examine the pill itself. Note the shape, color, and any markings (letters or numbers) imprinted on it. This helps verify authenticity and match it to your prescription information. Consult your pharmacist if you have doubts about the appearance of your pills.
Additional Prescription Details
Review the quantity prescribed. This number indicates how many pills you’ve been given. Match this to the actual number of pills you received. Also check the expiration date; ensure your medication remains usable within the given timeframe. Your doctor’s instructions should contain specific details on usage and potential side effects, read these carefully.
